You see my build in my sig

 

So I've made a decent overclock/overvolt profile that runs stable, which I first made in AI Suite 3 just to save some time from rebooting back forth from BIOS. For this overclock I decided to go with an adaptive voltage curve to save some heat when I'm just browsing the internet and such, and AI Suite 3 responded as it should to this, giving me a good range of lower voltages when the highest one wasn't necessary.

 

However once I moved the overclock settings into BIOS to get the best stability possible, things didn't go that well anymore. Now my voltage suddenly is fixed at a constant maximum value, and only drops down 16 mV every now and then - which isn't what I want.

What did I do wrong? I did select the adaptive mode in the AI Tweaker in BIOS and manually set both the overvolt values as well as the overvolt offset.

Don't forget to invest in an Intel Tuning Plan if you're going to overvolt your K/X CPU

UPDATE: I've made sure the Intel SpeedStep and the C-stages are all active in BIOS, which they were.
